This is in Memory of Theresa Brabson who sadly died of Lung Cancer on 17 September 2011, Theresa was diagnosed in August 2011 and sadly passed away at home just a few weeks after. With the help of the Home Care team at Nottingham hospice, Jackie, her daughter was able to care for her with palliative care at home in her last few days. Nottingham Hospice helped the family with care immediately when Theresa was discharged from hospital.
Jackie says that she did not know how she would of coped without the support and help of Nottingham Hospice,. Her Mum loved the Nurses who sat with her and not only provided her with physical and emotional support but also the family, sadly it was only for a few days but the support from Nottingham Hospice was incredible.
This is why Paul and Sharon are doing these challenges for Nottinghamshire Hospice this year, to support and raise money for a very worthwhile Charity. 04/03/12 Two challenges now complete, a days rest then back training again ready for the Clumber Park Duathlon.
